Don’t forgot, they murdered Manuel Esteban Paez Terán so they could build it.

I’ve only ever talked about non violent resistance. Of which there are many methods which can absolutely cause a disruption.

There most certainly have been successful overthrows of authoritarian regimes throughout history. The most well known one is when India made the British give them independence.

30+ Examples of nonviolent campaigns and how they were successful

Mightier than the sword: The unexpected effectiveness of nonviolent resistance

I’m not an expert, or even a pacifist, but I do want to limit death as much as possible.

Just because some historical events used violence, that does not mean that all must. In fact if we engage an authoritarian regime militarily, we are attacking the regimes strongest advantage. Instead, it is the regime’s weak points that should be taken advantage of.

If enough people show that they will not comply with the regime, it will cause problems for them.

Eventually, even if a protest is peaceful and non-disruptive, the regime will be forced to act against the demonstration and cause a disruption where the regime shows both their brutality and their lack of true power.

Think of what your reaction would be if you saw a parent striking a 5 year old in public. Would you think that parent is in control of the situation?

Ultimately, once the regime starts to use violence against non-violent resisters, that’s when the resistance gains power. And if the resisters continue to use non-violence despite the brutality, they will gain sympathy from anyone on the fence.

At some point, they will even gain support of the military and law enforcement which has been applying the brutal crackdowns under order of the regime. And those enforcers might even refuse orders and that’s when the regime begins to topple.

This has been a proven strategy to fight authoritarian regimes in history. If you are interested, please read one of the books above in the comments.

The regime is building a coalition of loyalists ready to commit crimes against resisters in exchange for money and protection. This is an attempt to establish a patronage system where the police are loyal to the regime

Non violent resistance is not passive

Maybe, but I’ll never comply with a fascist. I would rather choose death over giving them the smallest degree of legitimacy.

And if more Americans felt the same way, we could start a movement that could remove the regime.

If only one person reads one of the books I posted, it’s a step in the right direction.

I don’t hold a high government office.

I don’t lead a military that can compete with that of the USA.

I only have philosophy and history to offer in these times.

Power is not intrinsic to rulers. Gene Sharp says that the sources of the ruler’s power ‘depend intimately upon the obedience and cooperation of the subjects’.

I’m not sure what you are implying should be done. But we have to start somewhere.

Educate yourself.

• From Dictatorship to Democracy (Gene Sharp)
• The Essential Gandhi : An Anthology of His Writings on His Life, Work, and Ideas(Mahatma Gandhi)

We are having a public chat published for all to see so I’m not really talking to just you ;)

I think I’m just going to stick with my original font match of Worldwide Headline regular. As it might be good to not use exactly the same thing as the Regime. I don’t want my posts to become misinformation or to mislead people in any way. I just hope to state in plain English what these orders mean.

I’m just a US citizen that read project 2025 and a few books on German history, the red scare, and works by Gene Sharp.

Feel free to check out my other posts in my user profile.

The regime is building a coalition of loyalists ready to commit crimes against resisters in exchange for money and protection. Which might take a bit of time.

Its been better for me in every way.

Yes. I have the urge to share my views on what the regime is doing to make people aware and to aid the resistance.

If it takes you 20 minutes to recognize fascist imagery then I recommend you study up on it a bit. We will see it more and more in the days to come.

I don’t think I’m posting anything fake. My post is a read between the lines of the official executive orders and what they are planning next.

Also, my posts contain the official executive orders posted on the Regime’s website Whitehouse.gov which anyone can look at or even monitor with an RSS feed at https://www.whitehouse.gov/news/feed

I made it in gimp. Modeled after what the official whitehouse.gov site actually looks like. Or more what it used to look like before they introduced the gradient background cause I’m not that concerned with matching it perfectly.

I replaced the eagle however with one that I found on r/vexillology which was made to represent American fascism. I just had to make it have a transparent background and invert it to make it white.

I used Worldwide Headline regular for the font.

I would post the xcf file but not sure if it would give away metadata about my PC.

What who doesn’t use emacs? I’ll could send you my dotfiles…I just need to fix them.

Asking someone that doesn’t know how, to close vim is my favorite password generator.

Shhh…you’re going to be black-bagged.
